About this ebook

Fans have long wondered what happened to Ahsoka after she left the Jedi Order near the end of the Clone Wars, and before she re-appeared as the mysterious Rebel operative Fulcrum in Rebels. Finally, her story will begin to be told. Following her experiences with the Jedi and the devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka is unsure she can be part of a larger whole ever again. But her desire to fight the evils of the Empire and protect those who need it will lead her right to Bail Organa, and the Rebel Alliance....

Ratings and reviews

To be very clear, the animated version of Ahsoka's time between Order 66 and the Rebellion is thankfully 100% non-cannon. This book is still considered to be higher cannon, but less than the Ahsoka series. With that said, I felt I grew to know Snips more than in the regular run of Clone Wars and Rebels. As a massive fan of both, I did enjoy even the more boring parts that made her feel real. I believe the Ahsoka comic is faithful retelling if you'd prefer a quicker read.

It's nice to get a bridge between Clone Wars and Rebels, but it's otherwise mediocre. Johnston's writing just didn't pull me in. The characters didn't seem particularly memorable. Ahsoka didn't particularly feel like the character from the TV shows(She didn't feel particularly out of character either though, just , meh) If you want that bridge or need to read everything Star Wars then sure, it's an OK book, but otherwise, you're better off reading something else.

Probably the Bane trilogy would be my choice for a shining example of top shelf Star Wars Legend. This book focuses on a character that while introduced in a Disney Star Wars period, isn't an over the top, in your face beacon for the writer's social agenda. I wasn't a fan of every episode of Clone Wars, or Rebels, but when the character Ahsoka Tano entered the screen, I always felt excited to see how she would develop. The writer does this character development quite well, without being filler. Great book.
